Kip Powick Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It would seem that what goes around, comes around !!! I was in this city many years ago and the name rings a bell. I seem to remember giving this fellow a few dollars so he could start his business. Sadly, he has departed....taken that last flight "west" and it looks like I am going to "inherit" quite a sum of money for doing these folks a favour.

Financial Guy Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yeah, Kip - get in line. I have already established contact with this person, and my wife has already spent the money we have been promised. Tell you what, I'll ask my guy if he has any friends who also need help, and I'll send them your way. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 I am wrought with woe !!! I thought these people really liked me...color me gullible. I actually thought someone was finally watching over me...good grief, can't take anything at face value any more, everyone is just out for themselves, kindness and compassion has taken a back seat to greed and corruption. Lesson learned.. PS..drop a note if you want to buy a few collectors editions bottles of rare prop wash, a spare key to the North Bay Tacan Gate and for any of you boaters out there, I have only four sets of keys for oarlocks...will work with any self propelled boat. I accept Paypal, and like any good EBay'er will leave positive "Feedback" should you send the funds immediately. Y'all have a "Hoppy" Easter...my whole damned tribe, plus relatives, will be here for the weekend...there goes my fun time with SWMBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
